+
+Dear Bitcoin devs,
+
+I just tagged version 2.0 of Electrum:
+https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/2.0
+
+The electrum.org website will be updated later today. The release
+notes are a bit dense, due to the large amount of changes and new
+features in this release. In the coming weeks we will be adding more
+detailed documentation to the wiki and to the website.
+
+There has been a very long hiatus in Electrum releases, because it
+took me a lot of time to decide about the new seed derivation method
+and wallet structure. Now that this part is done, I hope that we will
+resume to a faster release pace.
+
+I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this release,
+developers, beta testers, but also people from this list who provided
+useful feedback.
+
+Cheers,
+
+Thomas
+
+_____________________________
+
+RELEASE-NOTES
+
+# Release 2.0
+
+* Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on
+paper.
+
+* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org
+
+* New seed derivation method (not compatible with BIP39). The seed
+phrase includes a version number, that refers to the wallet
+structure. The version number also serves as a checksum, and it
+will prevent the import of seeds from incompatible wallets. Old
+Electrum seeds are still supported.
+
+* New address derivation (BIP32). Standard wallets are single account
+and use a gap limit of 20.
+
+* Support for Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and
+P2SH addresses ("2 of 2", "2 of 3").
+
+* Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed
+transactions, that includes the BIP32 master public key and
+derivation needed to sign inputs. Serialized transactions can be
+sent to cosigners or to cold storage using QR codes (using Andreas
+Schildbach's base 43 idea).
+
+* Support for BIP70 payment requests:
+- - Verification of the chain of signatures uses tlslite.
+- - In the GUI, payment requests are shown in the 'Invoices' tab.
+
+* Support for hardware wallets: Trezor (Satoshilabs) and Btchip (Ledger).
+
+* Two-factor authentication service by TrustedCoin. This service uses
+"2 of 3" multisig wallets and Google Authenticator. Note that
+wallets protected by this service can be deterministically restored
+from seed, without Trustedcoin's server.
+
+* Cosigner Pool plugin: encrypted communication channel for multisig
+wallets, to send and receive partially signed transactions.
+
+* Audio Modem plugin: send and receive transactions by sound.
+
+* OpenAlias plugin: send bitcoins to aliases verified using DNSSEC.
+
+* New 'Receive' tab in the GUI:
+- - create and manage payment requests, with QR Codes
+- - the former 'Receive' tab was renamed to 'Addresses'
+- - the former Point of Sale plugin is replaced by a resizeable
+window that pops up if you click on the QR code
+
+* The 'Send' tab in the Qt GUI supports transactions with multiple
+outputs, and raw hexadecimal scripts.
+
+* The GUI can connect to the Electrum daemon: "electrum -d" will
+start the daemon if it is not already running, and the GUI will
+connect to it. The daemon can serve several clients. It times out
+if no client uses if for more than 5 minutes.
+
+* The install wizard can be used to import addresses or private
+keys. A watching-only wallet is created by entering a list of
+addresses in the wizard dialog.
+
+* New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new
+wallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old
+wallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation
+may take some time, because public keys will be derived for each
+address of your wallet.
+
+* The client accepts servers with a CA-signed SSL certificate.
+
+* ECIES encrypt/decrypt methods, availabe in the GUI and using
+the command line:
+encrypt <pubkey> <message>
+decrypt <pubkey> <message>
+
+* The Android GUI has received various updates and it is much more
+stable. Another script was added to Android, called Authenticator,
+that works completely offline: it reads an unsigned transaction
+shown as QR code, signs it and shows the result as a QR code.
